Secondary mobile market exceeds $25 billion

March 12, 2019

B-Stock, a B2B marketplace for trade-in and overstock mobile phones and devices, is reporting that the used phone market is currently worth $25 billion (€22.1 billion) and growing faster than the primary market.

Today, the average mobile phone will be used by two to three people before it is scrapped; as a result, the company is urging mobile providers and manufacturers to adequately protect consumer data on devices by conforming to R2 Certification.
